The Animal Science Program at Sheridan College prepares students for a career in ranch or livestock management. The majority of our students continue on to four-year colleges and universities. We work closely with these schools to make the transfer process as seamless as possible. In fact, our graduates tell us they feel more prepared to complete their bachelors programs than their peers.
